About This Tour

The 4-day Classic Inca Trail is more than just a trek, it’s a journey through time, following the very paths the Inca once walked. Every step on these ancient stone-paved roads leads you deeper into a world of hidden ruins, cloud forests, and breathtaking Andean peaks, culminating in the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu at sunrise. This is an adventure that awakens the soul. Walking in small groups allows for deeper connections, with the land, with history, and with fellow travelers. For an even more immersive experience, a personal porter can lighten your load, so you can focus on the magic around you. Some trips are simply unforgettable, this is one of them. Feel the energy of the Andes, chase the footsteps of an ancient empire, and stand at the Sun Gate as the mist lifts over Machu Picchu. Your adventure begins now, secure your place on the Inca Trail!
